TCR staff went above and beyond

I went to see Les Miserables on July 19 at Theatre Cedar Rapids. I had one small problem, though. Many months ago I had purchased four tickets for the July 18 performance.
Upon arriving at the theater, four very nice folks were comfortably sitting in the seats I thought I had arranged for.
The staff absolutely went way over the top helping seating me and my guests for a totally sold-out performance. I cannot put into words how kind, professional and generous the staff was. You get the feeling that they are all so proud of being associated with TCR and they should be.
Casey Prince, Leslie Charipar and their associates have put together New York Broadway-quality work.
I have seen almost all the great plays of New York and London over the last 30 years and their production of the iconic Les Miserables was easily on par with the original New York productions.
The actors, direction, orchestra, sets, etc., were the finest artistic performance in the history of Cedar Rapids.
Everyone associated with TCR will be forever proud of what they have accomplished. Bravo indeed!
